Bulky Bulldog Wins ‘Best In Show’ Because Of His ‘Outstanding Overall Attitude’

The 18th Annual National Dog Show Presented by Purina, which aired on Thanksgiving on NBC, has crowned its winner: a bulky two-year-old Bulldog named Thor.

Whisky the Whippet, who won ‘Best in Show’ at last year’s competition, has officially handed over the throne to Thor, whose registered show name is GCHG Diamond Gold Majesu Pisko Bulls.

His handler, Eduardo Paris of Houston, Texas, was completely in awe when he heard Thor announced as the winner.

Paris shows Thor three to four times a month, and has been showing him since September of 2018. Since then, he’s won 27 specialties, but this win was the most special.

Thor made it to the final Best in Show round after winning the Non-Sporting Group.

In the final round, he beat out Nick the Siberian Husky, Daniel the Golden Retriever, Blaine the Soft-Coated Wheaten Terier, Sophia the Old English Sheepdog, Bono the Havanese, and Maddie the Pharaoh Hound.

According to Best in Show judge Charlotte Patterson, the English Bulldog was crowned ‘Best in Show’ for his “outstanding overall attitude and presence.”

When Thor isn’t competing, he loves to play with his Chihuahua siblings. He may be chunky, but he is still very active and athletic. Of course, he also loves to sleep after tiring himself out.

Now that Thor has won this amazing title, it’s time to celebrate.

“I think I am going to have a beer and Thor will eat and sleep in my bed with me tonight,” Paris told PEOPLE.

Lucky Elderly Man Is Greeted Every Day By A “Friend” Who Crawls Out Of The Ice:

We’ve all seen some unique and unlikely friendships over the years, but this one here may take the cake!

One day, a starving otter appeared at an elderly man’s door wanting some food. Ever since, Seppo Laamanen, 65, and Iivari the otter have been inseparable best friends.

It all started when Seppo fed worms and fish to the small and malnourished otter who was clearly looking for food.

After that, the friendly animal repaid the kindness by visiting the man at his home in Punkaharju in easter Finland. This was the start of something special.

There’s no way Seppo could’ve ever imagined it’d all lead to this. This adorably unique friendship is one for the ages, and it’s something you have to see to believe.

There’s nothing like the bond between two friends regardless of the species! 🙂

10 Of The “Most Loyal” Dog Breeds On The Planet

Giving love and support to humans is something that some dogs do better than others.

While many dogs love everyone they meet and are willing to take treats or belly rubs from anyone, the pups we found are just the opposite.

These 10 dogs are some of the most loyal breeds on the planet. They are rock steady in their loyalty to their owner no matter what.

1) Akita

When the American Kennel Club (AKC) lists loyalty to describe the temperament of the Akita, you know they mean business. The beautiful double-coated working dog of Japanese ancestry is considered hardwired in protecting those she loves. They should be socialized with other dogs and people from the time they are puppies. Their silly, fun, but dignified personalities round out the loyal Akita.

3) Skye Terrier

Known as the “small dog with the big ears,” this adorable breed hails from the Scottish Isle of Skye, hence the name. Whether you live in the city or the country, this small dog with a big personality is steadfast in snuggling, playtime, and remaining loyal to his owners.

4) Beagle

This merry hound is friendly, curious and incredibly loyal. While he doesn’t mind the occasional couch potato time, this spunky pooch is energetic and merry. A fun fact about this hound: the breed standard is for 13 inches and under and another in the 13-15 inch category. No matter how you size him, these adorable dogs just want to cling to you.
